Such in brief has been the tariff histo-
~ of the United States. Whenever the
country has been blessed with stringent
protective laws, our industries have
thriven, our land has been tiOurishing,
our people have grown rich and happy.
To the benign influences of protective
tariff we are largely indebted for our
present growth, wealth, and power as
nation. When free trade has spread its
desolating influence over the land dis
tress. bankruptcy, and ruin have newt
ably followed. Hence the Republican
party is earnestly in favor of protec
tive tariff-one that shall protect Amer
icsn labor. and provide for the farmer
home market, the best in all the world.

Charles Ward, hackman at West Point,
has q fund of information about the military
academy and some of the now famous gen.
erals who were once cadets. A reporter
visited West Point the other day and was
driven through the grounds of the college by
Ward. he appears to be 81 or 50 years old,
is a large, broad shouldered man, with full
beard, sGreaked with gray, and an honest
countenance. He was born in the town and
has been there ever since.
"You knew them all, then-Lee, Sheridan
and Grant?" asked the reporter.
II knew the first two-that is, saw them
when boy and remember how ttey looked
and acted. Gen. Lee was captain of the post
here in 1858, and my father used to sell him
milk every day. 1 can remember how Gen.
Lee would say, with smile, to my father:
Now, l desire you to be careful and not get
too much water in your milk. The milk you
gave me the other day had a suspicious taste.
He said it, though, in such kindly, nice way
my father never took any offense. Capt.
Lee was the most soldierly looking of any of
the cadets. Why, sir, when started to walk
on the parade ground or from one quarter to
another he went as straight as a bee line, and
never looked back, it made no difference how
much noise the other cadets made in his rear
He was straight, too, as an arrow, and not
very stout l shall never forget him as he
looked in those days. New York Mail and

The Boston Mendins Rureau

The Boston Mending Bureau and Laundry
company is a new thing in our city, though
a similar establishment has been in successful
operation in New York for some time. Their
plan of work and object can be told In few
words, and the whole thing is so extremely
sensible and feasible that the only wonder is
that it was not thought of years ago. The
bureau comprises a laundry, dye house and
a repair shop, in the last of which expert
enced tailors and sdllful needlewomen are
constantly employed in putting into order
every sort of wearing apparel
Work is done here for both men and
women, though it is especially useful, Of
course, to bachelors and other lonely men
who have no one to keep their clothing in
order for them. Wearing apparel when
soiled or worn may be taken to the bureau or
called for on postal card order, and put into
thoroughly good condition again. The linen
is washed and done up, missing buttons are
replaced, stretched out buttonholeS reduced
to their proper proportions, worn tapes and
strings renewed, gaping holes in the stockings
filed up, while the outer clothing is cleansed,
dyed, pressed, darned, patched or otherwise
attended to as it may need. These things are
all done at a very moderate price-a pair of
socks darned for five cents, unless too far
gone-and other things in proportion, the
the price being fixed in most instances by the
length of time which the task requires
Frequently also the bureau makes a con-
tract with gentlemen to press, repair and
keep in order their clothing by the year or
month, the principle being the same as that
by which the Chinese pay their physicians to
keep them we'll The bureau has a dozen
branch offices in the suburbs and different
portions of the city, SO that patrons living at
a distance may be easily accommodated.
There are numberless busy men and women
for whom the bureau will save many dollars
in the course Of year. ga stitch in time
saves nine," according to the proverb, and
mending the ravages of wear and tear upon
ones clothing saves good deal else at the
same time-Boston Globe.

rribuIations of an Inventor.

The way of inventors without means or
supporters is not to be envied Nothing can
be done with an invention in the present day
unless the aspiring genius who secures
patent also engages the attention of NJ len with
money. Great corporations have IT, be ap-
pi he'd, and as they are not, as a rule, dis
posed to espouse the cause of every plausible
device, the man with patent must demon
strate to the satisfaction of managers that
his ideas will stand the brunt of actual SER
vice after emerging from the experimental
stage. The moral of this is that an inventor,
to be successful, must have sufficient ability
to organize a strong company composed of
men whose names are guarantee, and then
one corporation will protect the other. This
would have assured the adoption of the Terry
cable system in this city. Without a big
company behind the patent to take care Of it,
eastern capitalists who invested in the bonds
issued on the new cable system refused to
look at it, and simply said: IF you want our
money you must take a system that has been
tried to our satisfaction. We want no ex-
periments involving our millions. "-Globe

Avertiup a Calamity.

He is farmer and has son, upon whom he

"The Home That is Happiest-
Our burdens are liehtened

Our burdens are lightened
That many hands bear,
And pleasures are frightened
That many hearts share,
And the home that is happiest
Brightest and best,
Is where they ali labor,
And where they all rest
Where no careworn father
The brunt of work bears,
And no grsy-haired mother
Is burdeDed with cares;
While no tired elder sister
Is helper alone,
But each one is busy
Till all work is done.
Then mother has leisure
To laugh with her girls,
She shares all their secrets,
They smooth her soft curls,
And deck her with blossoms
And fondly declare,
There never was mother
So winsome and fair.
And father is jolly;
His stories and fun
Are the life of the household;
He has not a son
Who does not think father
Knows best and is best;
And would not work double
That he might take rest.
So, helping each other
In labor or play,
In happiness ever
The years pass away;
For pleasures are brightest
That many hearts share,
And burdens are lightest
That many hands bear.

PLAYERS of Wind Instruments.

The manner in which players of wind in
struments keep their lip muscles hardened
often excites curiosity. This is only attained
by constant practice, and the more perfectly
q performer plays the more practice is needed
to keep him up to the mark.
Many performers on wind instruments, and
especially cornetists, frequently lose control
over the muscles of their mouths and are
affected by what is known as the "frozen lip"
In this case the lip sometimes swells to an
enormous size, and in many instances the per-
former is obliged to take temporary rest
from playing.
Too much smoking is also bad for the lips, as
1t makes them dry and feverish While the
use of too much liquor would, of course, be
bad for any performer, yet when used in
moderation it sometimes has a beneficial
effect upon the playing. This is especially
true when a very heavy programme is rem
dered.-New York Journal

The Distribution of PhthisIs.

The influence of geographical position upon
phthisis turns out to be much less than cur
rent opinion would indicate. We are prone
to regard it as essentially n malady of tenn
perate ATTITUDES and of the Anglo-Saxon
race, but more accurate statistical informa-
tion proves that it is virulent in many warm
countries, and that some of the inferior races.
such as the negroes, the inhabitants of the
West India Islands and the peoples of the
South Sea suffer more in proportion than the
nations of Europe 1t will be a great sur
prise to many people to learn that the death
rate from phthisis is as high in sunny Italy as
in foggy England. Those who hold the old
fashioned notion that damp and cold are the
main causes ofphthisis will be puzzled to ac-
count for the almost complete immunity en-
joyed by the inhabitants of the Hebrides and
the Farce Islands.-British Medical Journal.

PENsIONING PEDAGOGUES.
A Scheme TO HOnOrably Retire Meri-
tOriOus Teachers.

A Scheme TO HOnOrably Retire Meri-
tOriOus Teachers.
Among the resolutions passed by the
national educational convention at CHI
cago was one summarized in the tele~
graph reports as follows: The adOp-
tion of some plan whereby meritorious
teachers, after long service may be hon.
orably retired" This means we pre-
sumo, some plan for pensioning teachers.
1t is to be regretted that the policy of
payisg pensions in the civil service is
growing 50 much in popular favor; and
though teachers be more than any other
class entitled to the charity of govern
ment, we could wish that their repre-
sentatives had shown less sel6shness in
this matter, and more zeal for the gen.
eral good. A teacher, not less than ev-
cry public servant, should be literally
paid; but beyond granting generous
compensation government should ex'
ercise no more care for the security of
JOdCu0IS ludu lOA IudI VI Oluludly ClGlN
zens. They should learn to live within
! their own means and provide for their
own future. Like policeman, judges
and other officials, whom it is now the
fashion to pension, they enter the public
service as matter of choice. They find
their position honorable and their cons
pensation better than they could CON-
mand in other business. The fact that
they have entered the public service is
in itself regarded as an advantage, and
they should make such use of the advan-
tage as to become independent and self
supporting through life. Not only
should the policy of creating civil serv
ice pensioners be stopped at once, but
every civil service pension alresdy
granted in the country should be abOl-
| ished or commuted. If this mOnstrous
humbug of pensioning people in the
civil service of the Federal government.
the States, or municipalities is to be
adopted, then some provision should be
made for the honorable retirement" at
the public expense. of labOrers, mechan-
les, shop-girls, and all other hard work
ing people.

Advice for Hot weather.

If one wants to keep cooi and to keep from
being thirsty the only course is to drink noth-
ing. Suck lemon, chew at collar button,
bite at a teething ring, but don't drink. That
is why it is that so many women are so cool
on hot days. 1t is provoking when tbe tenn
perature is 1917 degs. in the shade to talk to
woman who is as cool and fresh as an ice
chest while you are vainly trying to stem the
tides Of perspiration that ebb and flow on
your manly brow and surge and break on
your once white collar. Don't drink and you
won't perslire. Chicago Tribune.

The Cramp of Swimmers.

People are drowned by an attack of cramp
because of the terror accompanying it, when
the arms are invariably thrown up over the
head-a sure way of going to the bottom. 1
teach even little children, from years up,
to propel themselves through the water with
one hand only, or one foot, or with hands or
feet alone, and through familiarity with such
movements, if an attack of cramp should
overtake the swimmer, she will be prepared
for the emergency and keep cool until q land
ing is effected, when a vigorous rubbing Of
the cramped muscles will make matters all
right-Kate Bennett in Herald of Health.
